CVN was instructed to applied the $to the whole cost of the phones because [redacted] wanted it to be completely paid off first before any services can be doneLooks like CVN is applying the payment to whatever it decided toThey are applying our payment to UNAUTHORIZED labor charges as mentioned beforeNow, [redacted] is saying that he can't even find the other invoiceHe is making things up as he goesAgain, [redacted] is the biller and not ***That's why he is so confused CVN "CAN NOT" proof that we authorized the outrageous labor charges because we NEVER SIGNED AND CONSENTED to themThat $labor charge in the invoice he sent was disputed by usAs with any labor, the customer needs to sign and agreed to the labor and cost before work is doneWith CVN, that didn't happenThey billed whatever they want and applied our payments to whatever they decided to when we have repeatedly informed them not to do so However, to make it fair for everybody, I will accept a refund for half the cost of the phones
